A new era of independent brokerage has arrived.
We are pleased to announce that fellow independent brokerage, Dream Town, will become part of the Baird & Warner family. As a combined entity, we will now be the second-largest brokerage in the region, representing nearly 3,000 agents, loan officers, and staff providing comprehensive real estate services throughout eight city offices and a total of more than 30 locations across Chicagoland.
Throughout our 170-year history, we have sought to pursue strategic partnerships that enhance the value we bring to our agents and clients, strengthen our position, and sharpen our competitive edge. This expansion of the Baird & Warner family makes it the place for estate professionals who prioritize an agent-centric culture that is driven by support and focused intently on their success.
"We quickly realized that our shared values, service offerings, and technology would provide significant benefits, and we are excited for Yuval to join our senior leadership team as president of brokerage services. Together, we will form the next generation of independent brokerage," said Steve Baird.
At a time of furious consolidation among publicly traded and private equity-backed national brands, this merger celebrates agents' preference for a fiercely independent and locally owned brokerage that puts people first and is actively invested in their communities.
"Every major brokerage in town is now run by Wall Street or a hedge fund," said Yuval Degani, founder and CEO of Dream Town. "Steve and I envisioned creating an even more competitive, locally committed, and powerful independent alternative for agents, where they can have the best tech and marketing, yet maintain a culture of community and collaboration."
By combining our iconic brand recognition, relocation and lead generation, global luxury network, AI capabilities, and tech stack with Dream Town's considerable city presence, proprietary technology, CRM, and marketing systems, agents will now have the depth of resources and breadth of market coverage to serve their clients and grow their business in any environment.
Here's to the future of independent real estate and the next chapter in the Baird & Warner story!
